"Yodelled song, chigolingo, by Fainesi.
Whilst synchronisin her breathing with the regular pestling of a mortar, the singer uses different vocal techniques. She sings nonsense syllables as she alternates from chest voice to head voice, in the yodelling technique, chigolingo ; sounds are made continuously both on breathin out and breathing in ; production of timbre by folding the edges of her tongue in the shape of a U to obtain "fluted" sounds. Though she belongs to the Manganja group, the singer is performing here a song in the mangolongozi style of the Sena.
Performed hefe while pounding maize, the song is not restricted to this activity.
Song without words."
